House Update....

We're back from our epic cruise across the bay and not once did we set sight on the infamous Chessie (the Chesapeake equivalent to Nessie!)  We arrived back into the Marina on Sunday lunchtime having left St. Michael's early in an attempt to sail before the sun's heat became too intense.

Last week we missed our weekly 'check on the house' fix, so by Tuesday we were both itching to head out towards civilization and check on the progress.  To break up the monotony of the drive and add a little spice to our life, Doug and I have begun to play a game to not look at the house until we are physically on our street (oh yes, we live on the wild side!)  We both cover our eyes (leaving a slit for the person who is driving of course!) or look the other way so that the progress on the house is a surprise until we get there.  You'd be amazed how much willpower this involves and how much nervous anticipation is built up in the short time that we do this before we look.

Imagine our surprise, relief and excitement when we were greeted with this sight......we have walls and a roof!

The builders have done so much work in a period of 9 days, it's quite amazing.

We understand that the next step is for the builders to finish putting in the external windows and doors and then they will begin to work on the inside of the house.  Who knows what we will be greeted with by next week?!
